Sola Scriptura - Surer Than Sight

Feb 24, 2026    Stanton Petersen

Imagine for a moment that you were there on the Mount of Transfiguration. You saw Jesus’ face shine like the sun, his clothes becoming white as light. You saw Moses and Elijah appear out of thin air, and then, a literal cloud overshadowed you and a booming voice from heaven said, "This is my beloved Son." If you had seen that with your own eyes, you’d think your faith would be bulletproof for the rest of your life, right? You’d never doubt again. But the man who actually stood on that mountain, the Apostle Peter, has a surprising message for us today. He tells us that as incredible as that "mountaintop experience" was, we actually have something even more reliable.
